We need to get Ed a score card for thr Ter's
T1 - Kent
T-2 - Strout
T-3 - England
It's OK Ed, we even get mixed up ourselves sometimes.
(And put your shoes on when you're taking pictures. It looks like you just rolled out of bed which is quite perturbing to all three T's because it looks like you might have been taking a nap!!!)

At work we have a Jessie and Jessica, I even get them confused. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Regarding shoes, I'm bare foot most of the time at home day or night.

the live well is mostly done except for the lid and top assembly. Will gel coat the inside before the top goes on. Don't know if I want to spend the time fairing the outside to have a gloss like finish.

I haven't really needed it so far. The kicker can be set for any thrust direction and locked in that position. From there I can steer the boat with the 1/0 drive. This works fine when its reasonably calm, not sure how it would work if it was really nasty. If I had to steer from the stern, it quick and very positive. The kicker controls the boat real well.

Ed,
This is exactly what i would do. Yamaha 9.9 High Thrust Kicker. Had one on my Formula 233, Seacraft 20' and Now Seacraft 23' Sceptre. Will have all the low end torque and power you will ever need. Run forever. Would suggest the Electric Start and Electric Tilt, Here on the West coast 90% of the boats under 26' run this exact kicker motor.

Cant Recommend enough if a guy is going the Kicker Route. By the way your project is coming along Nicely, Very Good Work and Watching Your Build Closely. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Do you have a picture of how you rigged your water tank ? I’m so glad I read this. I’ll do the same think with the 27 inch square one maybe. Silly question maybe but are they just gravity fed or do you need a fresh water pump? Thanks

They will conform to the area without being custom made.
An access hatch cut into the inner liner or below deck will do the trick.

I had a 15 gal in front of the fuel tank. Perfect for quick rinse off of Reels, Dive Gear and Bathing Beauties after a swim

Interesting thread. Cool work. Did you finish the floor? Was also
Wondering did you take the liner out of the cabin or left everything north of the helm ?

The Happy Dolphin looks so small next to the SC.
